INTERACTIVE SERVICES DETECTION. (windows vista/seven)

Have you ever seen this button flashing on the taskbar?

When you click on the button or sometimes it popups on the screen and says:










If you click “View the message”, your screen blinks/flash and you are taken to a blank desktop with a couple of dialog boxes.




Why this Happening?

Services and system processes run in session 0. Prior to Vista/Seven, the console (first logged on user’s desktop) ran in session 0 as well. Vista/Seven  introduced session 0 isolation to protect services from elevation of privilege exploits from the console desktop. Now, the first user’s desktop runs in session 1.

Interactive Services Detection (the blinking button on the taskbar) is a mitigation for legacy applications that detects if a service is trying to interact with the desktop. This is handled by the Interactive Services Detection (UI0Detect) service. When you choose “View the message”, you are taken to session 0’s desktop and you can only interact with the dialog or message that services have tried to display on the desktop.


Can i stop it?

You can disable Interactive Services Detection. However, you need to remember that the misbehaving service will likely be frozen waiting for user input. This would be similar to a frozen application on the desktop – the program is stuck and isn’t working.

Please note, disabling Interactive Services Detection would be similar to putting black tape over the check engine light on your car. You’re disabling the notification but you still have a problem.

Here’s how to's. This will disable Interactive Services Detection for all services:

1. Open the Services control panel. This can be found quickly by typing “services” in the Start menu search bar and clicking "Services" in the Programs section.

2. Find “Interactive Services Detection” in the Services list and double click it.

3. Set the Startup type to “Disabled”  click apply and hit OK.

 
The service will no longer start when you boot your computer and you will no longer see the mitigation for any service.





NOTE: disabling this service will not stop the querying service executable from prompting you on Desktop 0. All that this achieves is to "not show the question" ... there is still a window awaiting input on Desktop 0, but after disabling this you do not even know about it any longer.

SETUP WINDOWS 7 AND VISTA FROM USB DRIVE.

'Happy new year' greetings from PCtionary , Ok since it's 2012 i would like to show one of my favorite tutorials i'd learn when i was on college, whenever im in hurry installing windows OS (Operating System) i always forgot to carry all my CD/DVD installer, But for some reason's every time i grope my pocket i feel a USB drive. 
That's why i had an idea "what if i install OS using pendrive?"  
Good Idea. So in this tutorial ill show this useful trick.


WHAT YOU NEED:
1. POWER ISO (one of my favorite)
2. USB DRIVE recommended 8gb


Step1: Create Bootable USB Drive:

1. Start PowerISO (v4.8 or newer version, download here).
2. Insert your USB drive/Pendrive
3. Choose the menu "Tools > Create Bootable USB Drive". The "Create Bootable USB Drive" dialog will popup. If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7 operating system, you need confirm the UAC dialog to continue.
4. In "Create Bootable USB Drive" dialog, click "..." button to open the iso file of Windows 7.
5. Select the correct USB drive from the "Destination USB Drive" list if multiple USB drives are connected to the computer.
6. Choose the proper writing method. "USB-HDD" is recommended.
7. Click "Start" button to start creating windows 7 bootable USB drive.

If no errors occured in the above process, you should now be all set to setup Windows 7 from USB drive!

Step 2: Configuring the BIOS:

You should now reboot and go into the BIOS configuration to boot from USB. Instructions for doing so wildly from system to system, but generally entail the following:

1. Reboot the system.
2. While booting (before Windows starts loading), get into the BIOS configuration screen by hitting something like F1, F2, Delete or Escape. Hotkey instructions are generally provided on the screen.
3. Go to the section that contains your boot devices.
4. With your USB drive plugged in, the USB drive should be listed. If it isn’t, your system might not support booting from USB. Assuming that it is supported (as is the case with virtually all modern hardware), promote your USB drive to the primary boot device.
5. Exit from the BIOS configuration, saving all changes.

If you’re completely new to BIOS configuration, Click here for more info. Be aware though, that you can seriously screw up your system by providing incorrect settings!

Step 3: Booting and setup windows 7 from USB drive:

Assuming that you properly configured your BIOS and your USB drive supports booting, Windows 7 setup should now load. Depending on the speed of your USB drive, this may take a while.

NOTE: If it isn’t working, then double-check the following before making a scene:

• Is your BIOS properly configured for booting from the USB device? (Is the USB device listed and does it have top priority?)
• Have you correctly prepared the USB drive in step one? (Restart the procedure.)
• Does your USB drive properly support being booted from? (Try another one!)

Ok! hope you've follow above intsruction and done that correctly..

HOW TO SPEED UP A TORRENT?

The largest file sharing protocol bittorrent has changed everything when it comes to file sharing. It is a nice platform for downloading large files and Sharing all kinds of file on the internet although Bittorent is mainly famous for illegal file sharing .

There are a lot of different bittorrent clients that you can download. I think for me the best are Bittorrent, uTorrent and bitcomet.
click here for more info about torrent.

All  Bittorrent system can be slow at times due to heavy traffic, So let us tweak bittorrent sharing program a little bit.

Here is a few tips to speed up uTorrent Client. also it can be implemented on any other torrent clients ,which you are using.




Increase TCP connections
You need to increase the number of TCP connections that are allowed at maximum.Windows XP Service Pack 2 came with the number of allowed open connections to 10. This is to stop any piece of spyware(in our case bittorent client even) from totally taking over your internet connection. TCP connection allowed should be 50 for optimal performance. The best way to increase the maximum number of connections is to apply patch that is available at www.lvllord.de. A nice way to fix this is to download this patch .

The little tweak to the torrent client works great in certain times. If you’re using uTorrent go to Options menu then Preferences. In the Preferences go the Advanced Options. In the advanced options change the net.max_halfopen connections to 80. In the same section change the max half open tcp connections to 80. Once your done click on OK and you are all set. This tweak will let the maximum TCP connection available for the bittorrent client. Now start downloading you’ll realize a little difference in the download speed. Port forwarding technique is more effective than this.

A third point of interest is that some “windows updates” revert your tweaked tcp connections back to 10. So it’s wise to check this every now and then. You can check this by going to (in windows xp) Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer > System… Look for event 4226 (sort by event).
If there are a lot of daily occurrences it’s likely that the max amount of half-open tcp connections was set back to 10. Or you’re infected with some nasty spy ware…





Torrent Client Configuration
In order to apply these tips you must know your maximum up- and download speed. You can test your bandwidth over here (stop all download activity while testing).

Settings 1-4 can be found in the options, settings or preference tab of most torrent clients.

Maximum upload speed
Probably the most important setting there is. Your connection is (sort of) like a pipeline, if you use you maximum upload speed there’s not enough space left for the files you are downloading. So you have to cap your upload speed.

Use the following formula to determine your optimal upload speed…

80% of your maximum upload speed

so if your maximum upload speed is 40 kB/s, the optimal upload rate is 32kB/s But keep seeding!

Bypass Firewall

One of the easiest and most straight forward ways to boost your torrent download speeds is to add it to your firewall’s exception list. Since the BitTorrent network relies on sharing, it can significantly handicap your download potential if you aren’t sharing properly.

Sharing Ratio

This is one factor that is somewhat out of your control – the Seeder to Peer ratio or the share ratio of a torrent. There is a general misconception that torrents with thousands of seeders and peers would perform better than those which only have these numbers in 10s. This isn’t true. In fact, the more important factor is seeder/peer ratio of a torrent. So a torrent with something like 23,875 seeds and 47,234 peers would perform a lot worse than one with 14 seeds and 4 peers. so keep in mind more seeds great, more upload not so great.

Multiple Trackers
Having multiple trackers for a torrent generally improves its performance. Having alternate trackers means you can connect to more peers and seeders, thus allowing more stable connections. Open trackers work best in this case, so just add the following to the list of trackers in your torrents:

http://tracker.openbittorrent.com:80/announce
udp://tracker.openbittorrent.com:80/announce
http://tracker.publicbt.com:80/announce
udp://tracker.publicbt.com:80/announce

Here you have it, my quick cheat sheet for optimizing BitTorrent to get the most juice out of your connection. Be warned though, this may greatly increase your internet bandwidth utilization, so if you don’t have an unlimited data plan, then make sure you keep things in check. as i mentioned above the more you seed, the more you reap.
